Chapter 1673: Boyan’s Wisdom
"The country cannot live without a king for a day, and the Han court in Luoyang refuses to let the prince come back. Now only King Moton can inherit the throne in the country."
Hu Hanxie stood up and defended, saying that he was a die-hard hawk and a die-hard loyalist of Mao Dun, so he naturally hoped that Mao Dun would succeed as Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Murong Ke and others, Tuo Lei's confidants, had long regarded Kublai Khan as the future Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Hu Hanxie's statement obviously could not convince them.
“This time and that time.”
Bo Yan stood up and retorted: "The Han court detained the prince before in order to use the prince as a threat to prevent our army from sending troops.
Now that the late emperor has passed away, and the Qin army is the most suspicious, our country is in urgent need of the prince to return to the country and succeed to the throne. If the Han court does not release the prince, it will be tantamount to admitting that the assassin was sent by them.
At that time, it will not be too late for us to choose a new emperor, and then use all our national strength to avenge the late emperor and wash away the national humiliation. "
Bo Yan is worthy of being one of the rare people in Yuan and Meng who is both civilized and military. His mind is clear and his words are clear, leaving both hawks and doves speechless.
After seeing this scene, Boyan was relieved in his heart. At the same time, he winked at Murong Ke and signaled him to stand up and say something. After all, now that he could scare the people in Maodun, Murong Ke was the only one left in Yuanmeng. .
Murong Ke understood what Boyan meant, and immediately stood up and walked to Mao Dun's side, reprimanding the ministers of the hawk faction: "King Mao Dun is so loyal and courageous, how could he seize the throne of his nephew while the prince is still here?" ? Are you trying to trick King Moton into being disloyal and unjust?"
Speaking, Murong Ke looked at Modun and asked, "King Modun, do you think so or not?"
Maodun, who was lowering his head, heard these words, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Then he raised his head and said calmly: "What the general said is that the bones of the late emperor are not cold yet, and the prince is still there. The emperor of Yuan Dynasty should be replaced by the real emperor." The crown prince will do it.”
Hearing this, Murong Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Mao Dun would ignore him and rely on the support of everyone to forcefully proclaim himself emperor. In this case, Yuanmeng would surely fall into internal fighting and blood would flow like a river.
"Since King Maodun also thinks so, from my perspective, it is better to arrange it like this first. King Maodun and King Wokuotai will jointly take charge of the government and stabilize the government. At the same time, Yelu Chucai will be sent as an envoy to welcome the Han Dynasty again. His Royal Highness."
Murong Ke looked at Mao Dun and Wo Kuotai and asked, "What do the two kings think?"
Wokuotai naturally had no objections. No matter how the throne was passed on, it would not be his turn. It would be beneficial to him to become the two auxiliary kings together with Moton.
After Modun thought for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
Since then, after Tuo Lei was assassinated, the biggest internal crisis in Yuanmeng has been temporarily suppressed under the consideration of many parties, and a bigger crisis is also brewing.
Why didn't Mao Dun succeed to the throne immediately? Didn't he want to be the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty? Of course he wants to be, but now is really not the right time.
Tu Lei’s bones are not yet cold, and Kublai Khan, the prince, is still alive. If Mao Dun proclaims himself emperor in such a hurry, it will be too ugly to look at him. How will the people of the country think of him then?
After Temujin’s reforms, Yuanmeng already had the spark of civilization. It was no longer the barbaric country it once was. It was impossible to seize the throne just by killing one’s father and brother.
So, if Mo Dun wants to succeed, he must occupy morality, otherwise even the hawks will not support him.
The progress of Yuan-Mongolia's civilization became the biggest constraint on Maodun, and Kublai Khan became the biggest obstacle to Maodun's succession.
Modun had to destroy these two if he wanted to successfully ascend to the throne of Emperor Yuan. However, it was simply impossible to destroy the civilization of Yuan and Meng, so he could only prevent Kublai Khan from returning home.
“Touman, you did a good job in this matter.”
With that said, Modu filled the wine glass, handed it to Touman, and said with a slight smile: "This is a reward for you."
When Touman saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
Touman was certainly involved in the assassination of Tuo Lei. After all, without his cooperation as a guard general, how could those dead soldiers enter the hunting ground?
Touman also considered that Mao Dun might kill him to silence him in order not to leave any hidden dangers, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
Since Mao Dun has murderous intentions, Tou Man will definitely not be able to escape. If he resists, it will harm his wife and children. It is better to risk his life to keep the whole family safe.
As soon as he thought of this, Touman's heart skipped a beat, he took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." Touman originally thought it was poisonous wine, but after drinking it for a long time, he didn't see any poisonous effects, and he felt in his heart I couldn't help but be confused.
“Haha, Touman, do you think the wine I gave you to drink was poisonous wine? It was just ordinary Central Plains spirits.”
Modun patted Touman on the shoulder and said with a faint smile: "Touman, you are my confidant. How can I not believe in your loyalty? I will never do such a thing as killing people and silencing them."
Touman narrowly escaped death and was immediately overjoyed. He kept kowtowing and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Touman will never be able to guarantee his reward even if he dies."
"okay."
Modun waved his hand indifferently and said calmly: "There is still something for you to do. I don't want Kublai Khan to come back alive. Do you understand?"
“I understand, I understand, I’m going to make arrangements for this.”
Touman left in relief, but he didn't know that the moment he turned around, Mao Dun looked at him with murderous intent, but he was restrained by him in the end. After all, killing his own people at this time would definitely be detrimental. Unity within the hawks.
On the other side, Murong Ke, Zhebie, Boyan, Meng Ge, Ali Buge and others gathered together, and everyone's face was full of solemnity.
"The death of the late emperor must have something to do with King Moton. It is very possible that he put the blame on the Qin army." Boyan said with great certainty.
Meng Ge frowned and shouted: "Bo Yan, pay attention to your identity, slandering the royal family is a capital crime."
Boyan was not afraid at all and said calmly: "What I say is well-founded. Qin Hao has a great master under his command. If he really wanted to assassinate His Majesty, why would he send ordinary soldiers and use Qin Nu? This doesn't make sense at all.
Think about it carefully, if your majesty dies and the prince is held as a hostage in Luoyang, who will benefit the most? "
“Modun?” Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right.”
A glint flashed in Boyan's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "Maodun was determined to attack Qin and take revenge, but his majesty denied it and gave him fifty lashes. Only a few days later, his majesty was assassinated and died. Don’t you think this is too coincidental?”
…
Everyone took a breath of cold air. According to what Boyan said, it was Mao Dun who assassinated the late emperor but put the blame on the Qin army. The date of civil strife in Yuan and Mongolia is really not far away.
"alright."
Murong Ke shouted to stop everyone and said in a deep voice: "The most urgent task now is to bring back the prince. After the prince comes back and takes the throne, the new emperor will make a decision on everything."
“General, I suspect that in order to succeed to the throne, Maodun may prevent the crown prince from returning to the country. The top priority is not only to send envoys to coordinate, but also to send people to protect the crown prince. The Han people may not be able to protect the crown prince,” Boyan said.
Murong Ke nodded in agreement. His previous words had completely offended Mao Dun. If Mao Dun really became the Yuan Emperor, he would definitely kill him in the future due to his big heart.
Therefore, Murong Ke and Kublai Khan were both mutual saviors. Even if it was to protect themselves, Murong Ke had to protect Kublai Khan with his life.
"Murong Hua, you will lead people into the Han Dynasty to secretly protect His Highness the Crown Prince." Murong Ke said solemnly.
Murong Hua, who once went by the pseudonym Guan Yutian, clasped his fists and said, "No."
The second update is here, but one more is still due.
